First order of business for Parliament’s home affairs committee on Tuesday was to elect an acting chairperson. No particular reason was given beyond “the chairperson is not in the meeting”.
Less than 24 hours earlier, the chairperson, Bongani Bongo, had been named alongside suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule when ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa closed the three-day National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
